I love beef stir fry! Whenever I do Chinese take-out, it’s always on the menu. Paired with yang chow Chinese rice and it’s a perfect meal. The best beef stir-fry that I have tasted was my friend’s. She is Asian so she uses oriental ingredients and employs Asian techniques. She has this cupboard full of spices that she uses in every dish. For stir fry, I notice that instead of honey and soy sauce, she uses oyster sauce. And while I thought it won’t make a difference, it does! Oyster sauce has a stronger flavor than honey and soy sauce combined. It’s also thicker, which adds to the thickness of the sauce absorbed by the meat. She also puts sesame seeds in the stir fry and a few nuts. Sounds nuts? Probably. Tastes nuts? Never. It tastes like authentic Chinese beef stir fry.
